		<description>Posts in the discussion thread &quot;Is it possible to log in with low-tech browsers?&quot; - I need to be able to log-in and view the content of a private wiki using low-tech browsers that cannot handle the javascript requirements of the new secure login method.  Is this possible?</description>

						 <p>I don't think it's possible at the moment, but if you post it in the "New Features and Ideas" forum, it might be implemented in the future.</p>

						 <p><strong>Goal</strong>: Access a <strong>private</strong> wiki using browsers on phones, hand-helds, and other embedded devices that may not have the latest browser technology installed.</p> <p><strong>Problem</strong>: Currently it is impossible for many of these browsers to get past the login sequence. The nested Javascripts, fancy pop-up iframes, and complicated encryption requirements make it impossible to log in for anyone using a less-sophisticated browser.</p> <p><strong>Example</strong>: The Nintendo DS has wifi capabilities that let it surf the web, but the Nintendo DS Browser (an Opera variant) simply stops and cannot do anything when clicking on a "login" link. Similarly, text-based browsers such as "links" or "lynx" have no possibility of being able to execute that code.</p> <p>If you don't need to access a private wiki, than a simple text-based browser is more than adequate for surfing the content of a public wikidot wiki.</p> <p>Does anyone know of a way to get past the login requirements with simple browsers? Does the old login code still exist somewhere? Will it still work?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>David.</p>
